Chapter Ninety-Six: Wendy's Blessing

"Hey, no, I'm tired, why wasn't I so tired before?"

A day later, Ying and Paimon arrived in Mondstadt, still in full throttle.

"Hey, teleportation anchors are so useful, why isn't Mondstadt? But you're tired from flying all the time? Why didn't Wendy merge Mondstadt into Liyue, so that I could get on my way? ”

Listening to Paimon's words, Ying complained approvingly.

Dainsleif: ."

The teleportation anchor is truly magical, wielding an unknown power that instantly reaches the junction of Liyue and Mondstadt from the middle of Liyue in a matter of seconds, even more magical than the power of the leylines.

"yes, yes."

The group enters Mondstadt and targets the Cathedral of Favonius.

"Huge statues, magnificent churches. The people of Mondstadt must have spent a lot of resources and energy to build them. ”

In Mondstadt Square, Dainsleib sighed as he looked at the huge Aeolian statue in the center of the square and the Zephyr Cathedral behind the statue.

"But how much did the wind god who received this gift feel, and how much did he reciprocate?"

Paimon said, "Faith doesn't ask for anything in return, right? ”

"Hmph, as long as the gods are at peace, I won't say anything."

Paimon's words made Dainsleif snort dissatisfied.

This appearance makes Wendy's friend Ying a little uncomfortable, from the observation of this time, as well as the last Fenghua Festival, Ying does not think that the wind god who can only touch fish will be as simple as it seems.

Taking 10,000 steps back, Wendy can be regarded as his friend, and this person in front of him looks very strange, and he has deceived himself so many times, saying that there is an abyss apostle, but there is nothing left.

"Shhβ€”β€”!h I'm about to enter the church, and I can't say anything bad about the wind god. Paimon hurriedly reminded.

"And the god of wind is actually... Uh, ah, nothing. ”

"Heh, I had no intention of going to church. Dealing with nuns is up to you. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing that Dainsleif wasn't going to go into the church together, Paimon looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Ying asked, "Why don't you go into church?" ”

"You are the Honorary Knight of Mondstadt and are highly trusted, they should feel comfortable letting you be involved in this matter, I am not suitable here."

"And my presence will only increase vigilance."

In this regard, Dainsleif only explained lightly, which made Ying feel a little suspicious.

"You're going to feel like you're not welcome?"

Dainsleif glanced at Paimon next to him and said, "Well, and like the little guy said, I'm always ... can say things that the church doesn't want to hear. ”

"When a disbeliever steps into a place of piety, it never ends well?"

"I have never received the favor of the gods in the past, and there is no need for me now and in the future."

Ying pretended to ponder for a moment and said, "In this way, while enjoying the favor of the gods, I also complained about them, whether they should be guilty of ten thousand deaths. ”

Dainsleif: ."

Why does it feel like this traveler is so difficult to get along with? From the very beginning, this traveler doesn't play by the routine, and it's still strong.

"Well, enough has been said about this kind of thing. While we were chatting, the Abyss Order didn't stop. ”

Dainsleif hurriedly changed the subject, saying that he didn't want to talk too much about the active traveler right now.

Ying raised her head to look at Dainsleif, and her lips opened slightly: "Tsk." ”

Dainsleif: ."

"Well, then, Ying, let's go and ask."

Ying and Paimon were about to leave, but Dainsleif stopped them both and reminded them lightly:

"I have to warn you, you'd better not mention the defilement of the defilement to the people in the church."

"The Church of Zephyr will not ignore the matter of the idols, but if they intervene rashly, I am afraid that they will be alarmed."

Saying this, Dainsleif held his chin with his hand, as if he was caught in a memory: "And... Whoever touches the cause and effect related to the abyss will generally not end very well. ”

"I see."

"Go to the church and ask someone, I'll be waiting for you here."

With Dainsleif finished, Ying led Paimon into the Favonius Cathedral.

"Honorary Knight! Hello, how have you been doing? What's going on today? ”

Barbara has a healing smile on her face when she sees Ying and Paimon coming.

"Ahh However, let's talk about it first, if you want to borrow the Sky Lyre again, it's not okay! ”

Ying: "Barbara rushes to the duck!" ”

Barbara: "."

Paimon: "."

"This, Honorary Knight, even if you say so, the Sky Lyre can't be lent to you."

Barbara's face turned a little red when she heard Ying's sudden words, and she pinched her body and said.

Paimon felt like things were going in a strange direction, didn't he say okay to ask about the Abyss Order or something?

"We're here to inquire, have Barbara heard of the world's first cultivator?"

Paimon hurriedly rescued the crooked main line and asked Barbara.

"Huh? What is that? Cultivator. What is it used for? ”

Barbara's face was still a little red, but she quickly adjusted her mood and answered Paimon's words.

"Well, I really don't know, so let's change the question. Has the church ever lost the Statue of the Seven Heavens? ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Barbara seemed to think of something, and even her originally flushed cheeks replied: "Are you here to ask that old story?" It's a surprise, because it was a long time ago, and no one talks about it anymore. ”

Barbara touched her chin and thought, as if she were thinking about something a long time ago.

"A long time ago, there was indeed a statue of the Seven Heavens that suddenly disappeared overnight, leaving no trace."

"At that time, almost all church members were involved in the search, but in the end they were not found."

"In the records of the Church, this strange event is known as the Lost Idol of the Seven Heavens."

"Sure enough."

Paimon remembered that the idol holding the purple ball of light in the ruins was indeed the Wind.

"Sure enough?" Barbara turned to Paimon, confused.

"Ah, nothing. Any other clues? Uh, I mean... Is there anything else weird? ”

Paimon sensed that he couldn't tell the people of Zephyr about this, and quickly changed the subject.

Barbara thought as she said, "Something else weird? I don't know, but I think about the strange things that the church has recorded... The legacy of a tyrant? No, it shouldn't be relevant in time."

"The tyrant's vendetta?"

Barbara patiently replied to Paimon's question, "Oh, this strange thing is that Old Mondstadt, now known as the Ruins of the Wind Dragon, has become very dangerous for a while. ”

"At some point many years ago, whenever someone approached there, it attracted fireballs falling from the sky."

Paimon turned his head to look at Ying and said worriedly, "Fireballs falling from the sky?!" It's scary. ”

"At the time, it was thought to be a curse of the Demon God of Tatsumaki, so it was called the Tyrant's Grudge."

"This strange phenomenon lasted for a year, and in the end it was not resolved, and then it slowly stopped on its own."

Ying analyzed: "This may not have anything to do with tyrants, right? ”

Well, later the church decided that the tyrant's legacy was untenable. The Demon God of Tatsumaki is supposed not to shoot fireballs..."

Barbara agrees with this, and the demon god of the tornado is related to the wind attribute when he hears it, right?

"I'm afraid there is some other cause of the disaster."

Barbara herself is a little unsure about this, these are just her guesses.

"In short, this incident may not have anything to do with the lost idol. But I can't think of anything else. ”

Paimon smiled at Barbara with a grateful smile and said, "It's okay, thank you very much." ”

"Thanks? I seem to hear troublesome words again."

There was an emotionless voice behind her, and Barbara and Paimon turned their heads at the same time to see a red-haired nun in black fishnet stockings.

Barbara looked at the visitor in surprise: "Ah, it's you, Rosaria." ”

"If you want to find the Knights, they don't have time now, and the monsters are back."

Rosaria's words were as concise as ever.

Barbara asked curiously, "The monsters?" ”

"It's the monsters that used the Stormterror to try to attack Mondstadt."

"Isn't that the Abyss Order?! Are they moving again? ”

Hearing Rosaria's words, Paimon exclaimed, wasn't it the Abyss Mage who used Stormtend to make trouble last time?

"Well, they're rallying to the wolf collar, and the wolves are restless."

"The Abyss Order, perhaps... Eyeing the remnant soul of the king wolf of the north wind? As for what, I'm not sure yet. ”

"Captain Qin has gone to the Wolf Leader, and I'm going to start acting secretly."

After Rosalia finished speaking, Barbara hurriedly said, "Then I'll go too!" ”

Rosaria mercilessly rejected Barbara's request: "Head Jean said that I want you to stay in the church and do your job as a clergyman. ”

"But, but you're also a clergyman."

Barbara couldn't accept the offer, why are everyone clergy, you can go, and I can't?

Ying opened her mouth and said, "Alright, Barbara, we'll help, don't worry." ”

Paimon chimed in, "Yes, we're going to help Captain Jean too!" ”

"Well, if there's an honorary knight."

Although Barbara is still a little unwilling, if Ying goes, there is really no problem in her opinion.

"But be careful. May the god of wind bless everyone safe and sound..."

"Anemo?"

Ying chuckled, that day the wind god also gave himself the blessing of the wind god, the effect was not very obvious, but his body became lighter, and his movement speed increased a lot.

"Let's go, let's go look for him outside."

Ying finished speaking and left, leaving Paimon behind who was still flying in mid-air.

"Hey, wait for me."

Seeing Ying leave directly, Paimon hurriedly followed, it was really Ying becoming more and more assertive, and his task seemed to be becoming a little difficult to complete.

Thinking of this, Paimon let out a helpless sigh, the mouth of the god is not so easy to be.

Walking out of the Cathedral of Favonius and going to the place where Dainsleif was waiting in front of him, Ying stepped forward and told him what was going on.

After talking for a while, Paimon was late.

Dainsleif pondered, "I see, has the Abyss Order started a new operation?" ”

"It's probably related to the defilement of the reverse idol, let's go check it out too."

"Speaking of which, what is the Abyss Order doing in the Wolf Leader? Is there going to be a repeat of the Dvalin incident? Ahβ€”don't repeat the disaster. ”

When Paimon heard the news, her little face was full of anxiety, if the Abyss Order came to the previous crisis of Stormterror, to be honest, although Ying went to stop it, she didn't want to go through it again.

"No, probably not."

Dainsleib explained, "Unlike the demon god who was suppressed, the demon god Andreus is long dead. Now it is only its remnant soul that guards the Wolf Leader. ”

"The Abyss Apostle targeted that remnant soul, perhaps just to dig up some useful information from the mouth of the Wind God's family..."

"So, let's go to the Wolf Leader now and see how far they've got."

After Dainsleif finished speaking, he disappeared directly.

Ying: "."

Damn, why can't I teleport like this, and I have to walk step by step, no, next time I'll have to ask Tassel if there is a way to place anchors in other countries.

"Traveler, what's wrong? Did you get into any trouble? ”

Hearing the voice, Ying quickly turned her head and saw Wendy looking at her.

Ying asked in surprise, "Wendy?" Why are you here? ”

"I was following you when you appeared in Mondstadt, and the mysterious blonde man." Wendy said with a smile.

Paimon exclaimed, "Huh? The ungodly thing is not heard by the singers! ”

"Hahaha, the traveler is not my believer, there is nothing wrong with not being godly, my blessing to her wind god is just a little help between friends, isn't it?"

Wendy winked at Ying and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Wendy."

"Hey, friends say thank you for seeing each other, have you encountered any trouble? Do you need me to help you? It's not far from here to the Wolf Leader, right? ”

Wendy had already figured out this abacus, and she took out two bottles of cider from her backpack and handed them to Wendy.

"Happy, I'm giving you the ability to fly now, but with my divine powers, you can only use it in Mondstadt, and since you have the help of the old man in Liyue and can travel at will, then I should also give you a little help in Mondstadt, otherwise the next time I see the old man, no, the old man won't laugh at me, mainly because of the tassel."

Wendy said with an uncomfortable face, speaking of that crumb woman, he was very uncomfortable, and he would live better than him.

Ying showed an embarrassed but polite smile: "."

"Okay, okay, go over, I also listened to what you just did, just judge according to your inner thoughts, don't be swayed by others, what you feel right is right."

"Let's go."

After Wendy left, Ying used the power given by Wendy, and a pair of wings condensed by the wind element appeared behind her, just like her original wings, and she was able to control it easily.

Shout~

Ying spread his wings and flew into a cyan streamer and flew towards the Running Wolf Leader.

"Hey! Wait for me! ”

Paimon stomped his feet on the spot and hurriedly followed in the direction Ying had left.

While flying, Paimon was thinking, it seemed that after Ying had the ability to fly, he chased after him, and in the past, he flew in front and Ying trotted behind, which part of the problem was there?

Paimon couldn't get an accurate answer to this question.

"Oh? Fly? The god of wind actually gave you this ability, it seems that your relationship is really not ordinary. ”

Dainsleib looked up at the glow that was wrapped in cyan streamers and flew towards him, muttering:

"When a person who can only hike suddenly has wings, does the grind and bumps along the way still make sense to her?"

Dainsleif can't see through Ying anymore, Ying's growth rate is beyond his expectations, I'm afraid that the abyss that appears now will not have any impact on her at all.

"Ying, really, what are you doing so fast?"

After Ying landed, it took a while for Paimon to come up.

"Paimon, I said you couldn't fly, I really believed your nonsense at the time, and I said that flying would make you tired."

"Hey, hey, it's not been too long, and I'm tired."

Paimon scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Ying, look, there are a lot of monsters from the Abyss Order in front of you."

Paimon turned his head and suddenly saw that at the entrance of the Running Wolf Territory, there were a lot of hilichurls and abyssal mages here, as if they were guarding something.

"Got it, got it, I'm going to fix them now."

Paimon knows how to eat, so who calls her his best friend?

Under Dainsleif's gaze, the Abyssal Mages and hilichurls fell to the glowing golden sword as if they had been chopped and chopped vegetables, and the entire battle was a complete one-sided slaughter, with no skill to speak of.

"Ying, are you so strong? So many enemies are taken out by you at once. ”

Paimon saw that Ying had finished dealing with the enemy, and excitedly stepped forward to congratulate him.

"It's just a bunch of small shrimps, not worth mentioning."

Ying crossed his waist and said, completely forgetting the experience of being chased by the abyss mage at that time.

"The closer you get to the target, the more enemies there are, hmph, in line with the style of the Abyss Order."

"Let's go find Andreus first, I don't know how far they've come." Ying said worriedly, Andreus was also an acquaintance to her.

"Hmmm! Then let's hurry up. Paimon urged.

"I'm not going."

Ying: "??? ”

What? You can't say you can't go here, won't there be no abyss apostles in it? I'm sure I'll have to make another note in my little book, and you've deceived me so many times.

"Huh? Why? Are you afraid of furry creatures? ”

Paimon's confusion made Ying look at her in surprise, "It shouldn't be for this reason, what are you thinking about Paimon?" ”

"It has nothing to do with the wolf, because it is the demon god of the past, but it is effective with the seven gods of today. I can't approve of his behavior, let alone deal with it. ”

"But I'm also friends with two of the seven gods. Still using their powers? Ying said a little strangely.

Dainsleif: ."

If you can talk, you can talk more, so it's really boring, and it's great to have wings?

Well, it's remarkable.
